How to Use the Oracle Solaris JumpStart Feature on an Oracle Solaris 10 Guest Domain

Note – The Oracle Solaris JumpStart feature is only available for the Oracle Solaris 10 OS. To
perform an automated installation of the Oracle Solaris 11 OS, you can use the Automated
Installer (AI) feature. See Transitioning From Oracle Solaris 10 JumpStart to Oracle Solaris 11.1
Automated Installer.

Modify your JumpStart profile to reflect this change.
A virtual disk can appear either as a full disk or as a single-slice disk. The Oracle Solaris OS can
be installed on a full disk by using a regular JumpStart profile that specifies multiple partitions.
A single-slice disk only has a single partition, s0, that uses the entire disk. To install the Oracle
Solaris OS on a single disk, you must use a profile that has a single partition (/) that uses the
entire disk.
